Ratings & Reactions: Everton v Villa

[Peter Griffin]

I know we all love Emi1, the best GK we have had in a long time and we have spent way too much on dross GKs over the last 6 years or so. The time wasting from him is really starting to irk me, I would like if he stopped doing this

Just reading the Everton statement over the incident after our goal, very surprised they have not issued some type of apology

Childish arguments and constant snipes at our 'shit' players (and the ref, who I thought was perfectly OK). I'll be keeping away in future, it's so much more enjoyable. 

It was only a few weeks ago that Buendia was Championship level. You certainly have a point regarding criticism of players, most of it is premature and knee - jerk crap. So annoying.

I thought Konsa was poor today. Don't know if it was the effect of last week's injury but there was a notable lack of aggression to his defending today. We need to be attacking those high balls better than we are.

Merseyside Police have raided food banks in the area after a tip off the pop bottle came from that source.

Just look at VT every week. The ref is against us, sky is against us, we were unlucky, they were lucky etc. There is a constant lack of critical thinking. It just makes us sound like a small club and takes us down to the level of Baggies and Blues

Perfectly reasonable point of view. I am on the other side. I regard rolling over and just accepting the obvious bias when it happens as small time and lacks critical thinking.  But its all good, there is no one right way to support Villa.

Yeah I thought he might get a second yellow at one point today.

Me too, and it worried me. It really isn't necessary imo

Loved Ferguson's "Scouser in the Dock" look today.

Yep I agree, we still had about twenty minutes to go as well if I remember correctly to get his yellow card.  Later in the game fine but with so long left, he’s just asking for trouble.

I enjoyed that, proper old school battle. As SG said, there are different ways to win a football match, and we all knew what kind of game it was going to be. It's obvious that he's put a bit of steel into the side, long may it continue. 

Also, I made a conscious decision to watch the game without going near the match thread until after the final whistle, and having now read it I realise what a good choice it was. Childish arguments and constant snipes at our 'shit' players (and the ref, who I thought was perfectly OK). I'll be keeping away in future, it's so much more enjoyable. 

Totally agree on the ref, some of the comments on here you would think he whipped off his shirt to reveal an Everton kit.

The commentators on my broadcast immediately started talking about the responsibility of the players to not celebrate in front of oppositions fans.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I got the same comments on DAZN .. Unbelievable  !!

Everyone complains and feels there is bias. However, that cup game against United was a blatant showing of how teams at the top get a different call VAR or not. Super proud of our 2-2 against them but wish we could have unequivocally destroyed them as we were the better team in both games. Also, my family are Villa fans through and through except for one brother who couldn’t take the heart breaks and chose Man U. Our time will come

Are we starting to get to know each other and starting to see we actually have some thoughts in common. BTW, I am also the correct weight, it is just my height is wrong. It will be nearly time to go for a pint in the not too distant future

Agree, we activated the head to the corner take an extra 5 seconds on the goal kick a good 15 minutes early. Worked out today but would have preferred 2-0 a lot more.

For those saying the ref was ok, just have a look at the incident he booked Mings for.  Comically bad.
